Our participation in OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program exemplifies our consistent pursuit of going beyond regulatory requirements by voluntarily submitting to robust safety audits. OSHA approves VPP Star Site status only if the facility demonstrates that enhanced safety systems have been implemented and embraced in a collaborative way by leaders and employees. Sites are reassessed by OSHA every three to five years in order to maintain their VPP status.

  • VPP Star Site status at nine refineries: Ardmore, Corpus Christi (East and West), Houston, McKee, Memphis, St. Charles, Texas City and Three Rivers Refineries.
  • Other facilities with VPP Star Site status: Corpus Christi Asphalt Plant, Houston Asphalt Plant, St. James Terminal, Valero Aviation Department, St. Charles renewable diesel plant, and the Wilmington Asphalt Plant.
  • Valero’s international refineries, Pembroke and Quebec, have received VPP’s equivalent assessment and approval.
